I made this canvas on a course with Lynda Monk at Missenden Abbey. I am totally addicted to Lutradur as you can do such fabulous techniques with it. This canvas included some machine and hand embroidery, a bit of scrim, and was painted with Golden fluid acrylic paints.. The leaves are felt, with lutradur and foil.The two in the recess are hanging loose on invisible thread. The leaves were made for a wall hanging of the same Autumn colours, but they looked so good with my turquoise canvas I used them for the canvas instead. The wall hanging will come later.

Below are a few samples I made, there are far too many to put on here.:

About Me

I am interested in all types of art and crafts,including altered art, ATCs, painting, and textural crafts, especially embroidery, and felting. I also like to combine paper and fabric in mixed media art. My passion at the moment is fabric books. I love gardening, when the British weather and my bad back allows. My gorgeous grandsons and granddaughter also lure me out of my studio, that is until they are old enough not to make a mess in there
